Synthesis of Benzotriazole Analogues of the Helicobactericidal Agents CJ-13,015, CJ-13,102, CJ-13,108, and CJ-13,104 Using a Regioselective 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition
The synthesis of tocopherol fatty alcohols (TFAs), potent microglial activation modulators, was achieved via C-alkylation of trimethylhydroquinone. Several analogs, in particular water-soluble prodrugs, have been synthesized using a Wittig reaction and their antioxidant activities have been evaluated.
Compounds of general formula (I), in which R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 and R9 have the meanings given in the specification, are useful in the treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
